A mixture of cubism, surrealism and art-deco that I made to honor Man Ray.
Cubism, impressionism and surrealism forged in art creations
Cubism, impressionism and surrealism forged in art creations
A mixture of cubism, surrealism and art-deco that I made to honor Man Ray.
A surrealistic graphite pencil drawing of Bettie Page, American pin-up and 1950s celebrity.
A worked out oil surrealistic painting variation of the last of the ’13 variations on the same theme’ graphite pencil drawing series.
A woman I met on deviantart posted explicite pictures and was asking for artists to paint / draw her. I asked for a decent one and this was the result.
After my drawing of Rotterdam – Coolhaven I wanted to do Delftshaven – another part of the old harbour area of Rotterdam but in a slight cubistic way.
A pastel that was lingering about in my studio for years until I completed it. I went for a strong purple / yellow contrast. It’s now with a private collector in China.
A rather impressionistic view on Coolhaven (part of the harbour of Rotterdam). I made this drawing inspired by a trip to Rotterdam when I passed by the Coolhaven and I lost a contact that day so I saw it quite blurry.
This was commissioned work and the purpose was to capture sensuality and through cubist forms get the round female shapes.
Part of the sans titre series, depicting Bette Davis, American actress and celebrity.
Part of the roundism series. I wanted to open up the body again so a spectator could wander through it freely without being blocked by a closed form.
Sometimes it happens that you see faces in trees and water. Such was the case when I came to ‘t Meertje, a place near Ooij and Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands
I wanted to open up the model as maximally as possible without losing the recognition of the anatomical basics. It is with a collector from the United Kingdom now.
Portrait of my dear colleague and friend Julia Filament who has a very round face, so I felt myself forced to break her up in straight lines and planes.
Part of the roundism series. I was charmed by the foreshortening in the back and the buttocks of the woman reclining and I wanted to do a combination of straight and round planes and forms.
Part of the roundism series and in the hands of a private collector now.
I made a first draft in black and white Conté Carrés but it didn’t work. It stood in my studio for over a year pissing me off. Finallly I knew what to do and was ready to divide space through colourful planes.
Leiden is famous for its canals and I makes me sentimental when they remind me of my time as a student, walking back drunk from a party feeling sick smelling the water.
I liked doing the facets like a diamond in this one. It’s with a private collector now.
I liked the model being thin so I could easily detect cubistic planes.
I particularly like this one because of the cubist quality of the abdomen muscles and the compositionary division of the negative space in big planes.
An impressionistic view on the buttocks of my favourite model.
Commissioned work. They wanted a portrait in a cubistic style. I used velours paper so I could make planes very easily with my Schmincke pastels.
Part of the sans titre series. This one is Sari Maritza, American actress and celebrity of the 1930s. It is with a collector from Germany now.
A commissioned piece representing the battle of Bun’ei near Hakata Bay, where Samurai try to stop the Mongols in the year 1274.
A sketch I did of Rotterdam Overschie, at the river Schie.
A continuation of the roundism series. I particularly like this one because I like the pose and the fluidity that speaks. It’s a kind of zig-zag pattern that appeals to me. It’s with a private collector from the U.S.
A portrait of my distinguished colleague in art Julai Filament, drawn in Rotterdam, made in a live session at Rotterdam.
This surrealistic drawing was the cornerstone of this series for now. One drawing and three paintings would follow. The drawing is with a private collector from France now.
Next to a pastel I did a graphite pencil drawing as a commission. I made her slightly surrealistic with the flow lines hovering over her body.
